What to Know
The Colgate Raiders are 10-3 against the Navy Midshipmen since January of 2016, and they'll have a chance to extend that success Wednesday. Colgate and Navy are set to clash at 7:30 p.m. ET March 9 at Cotterell Court in the fourth round of the Patriot League Conference Tourney. The Raiders are out to keep their 12-game home win streak alive.
Colgate made easy work of the Lehigh Mountain Hawks on Sunday and carried off an 81-61 victory. Guard Tucker Richardson and center Jeff Woodward were among the main playmakers for Colgate as the former had 16 points along with six rebounds and the latter had 11 points and five assists in addition to seven boards and three blocks.
Meanwhile, Navy earned some more postseason success in their contest on Sunday. They secured an 85-80 W over the Boston University Terriers. The Midshipmen can attribute much of their success to guard Greg Summers, who had 21 points and five assists in addition to six rebounds.
The Raiders are the favorite in this one, with an expected 6.5-point margin of victory. They are currently two-for-two against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.
A pair of stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Colgate comes into the game boasting the 30th highest field goal percentage in college basketball at 47.50%. But the Midshipmen have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 40.30%, which places them 34th in college basketball. These opposing strengths should make for an exciting matchup.
